Does a pine tree produce oxygen?
All trees (in fact, all photosynthetic plants including algae) absorb atmospheric or dissolved carbon dioxide and put oxygen back. Plants and their ancestors are the reason we're all here - without them, animal life could not exist. (It's possible that you're getting confused by plant respiration, in which plants do indeed produce small quantities of carbon dioxide, but that applies to all plants at night, not pine trees specifically.)
Pines are among the most commercially important of tree species, valued for their timber and wood pulpthroughout the world. In temperate and tropical regions, they are fast-growing softwoods that will grow in relatively dense stands, their acidic decaying needles inhibiting the sprouting of competing hardwoods. Commercial pines are grown in plantations for timber that is denser, more resinous, and therefore more durable than spruce (Picea). Pine wood is widely used in high-value carpentry items such as furniture, window frames, paneling, floors and roofing, and the resin of some species is an important source of turpentine.
Many pine species make attractive ornamental plantings for parks and larger gardens, with a variety of dwarf cultivars being suitable for smaller spaces. Pines are also commercially grown and harvested forChristmas trees. Pine cones, the largest and most durable of all conifer cones are craft favorites. Pine boughs, always appreciated, especially in wintertime for their pleasant smell and greenery, are popularly cut for decorations. A number of species are attacked by nematodes, causing pine wilt disease, which can kill some quickly. Pine needles serve as food for variousLepidoptera. See List of Lepidoptera which feed on Pines.
Because pines have no insect or decay resistant qualities after logging, they are generally recommended for construction purposes as indoor use only (ex. indoor drywall framing). This wood left outside can not be expected to last more than 12-18 months depending on the type of climate it is exposed to. It is commonly referred to as several different names which include North American timber, SPF (spruce, pine, fir) and whitewood.

Is a pine tree a seedless plant?
Pine trees are not seedless. The seeds are located in the pine cones.
Is a pine tree a nonrenewable resource?
It depends on how man maintains trees. If man clear-cuts (cuts down all the trees in an area) and does not replace them, then no, they are not renewable. However, if man cuts only the mature trees from a forest and leaves the rest, the younger trees will grow and seeds from those trees will produce new trees. In that case, trees are renewable and the forest will keep reseeding itself. Man can also plant young trees to replace those he cuts.
